Isaiah 64:8-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ But now, O Lord, ^(A)You are our Father,
We are the ^(B)clay, and You our potter;
And all of us are the ^(C)work of Your hand.
⁹ Do not be ^(D)angry beyond measure, O Lord,
^(E)Nor remember iniquity forever;
Behold, look now, all of us are ^(F)Your people.
¹⁰ Your ^(G)holy cities have become a ^(H)wilderness,
Zion has become a wilderness,
Jerusalem a desolation.
¹¹ Our holy and beautiful ^(I)house,
Where our fathers praised You,
Has been burned by fire;
And ^(J)all our precious things have become a ruin.
¹² Will You ^(K)restrain Yourself at these things, O Lord?
Will You keep silent and afflict us beyond measure?
